- We can test resistance to ganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir or maribavir (UL97 and UL54). All samples requesting this assay will be tested for CMV viral load first.
Drug resistance profiles produced by Next generation sequencing are Not UKAS accredited. A nucleotide variant is reported if it occurs in a proportion of the reads at or above the minimum nucleotide frequency threshold which was set at 5%. The relative frequencies of drug resistance mutations are denoted only where a heterogeneous population is present at a particular site. - We can test resistance to ganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir or maribavir (UL97
